How to Make Your Botox Last Longer
A well-known downside of Botox, Jeuveau, Dysport, Xeomin, or Daxxify (the neurotoxin list goes on…), is the sad fact that it doesn’t last forever. The body breaks down the toxin over time, on average between 3-5 months, and you need to continue receiving injections to keep your youthful, frozen appearance. While there’s no way to make Botox last forever, there are ways to make it last longer. Let’s review a few of those tips now.

What is Botox?

For best results, we recommend 1-3 treatments every four weeks. For 2-6 days after treatment, you may experience some light flaking or peeling. Once your skin has finished exfoliating, it will appear smooth, even and radiant.
Tips for Making Botox Last Longer
- Choose an experienced Botox provider. Great providers know how to optimize Botox amounts and injection sites so your results are more enduring.
- Dose = Duration: The more units you inject, the longer the muscle will remain relaxed. Ask your injector to opt for more units at your next visit for a longer time between visits.
- Avoid the sun on the day of treatment and wear sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every day afterwards. Sun exposure boosts your circulation, which makes blood vessels dilate and can increase the rate at which Botox is broken down by your body.
- Avoid using masks, toners, scrubs, or abrasive cleaners on the treatment area for at least a week after your tox injections. These products can disrupt the process as Botox settles into the treatment sites.
